But there is a mismatch: relational databases have data, but no behavior, while objects have behavior and only incidentally have data. Thus to say you want RDB data to be intuitively and automatically represented in Zope seems to mean that Zope must infer the correct behavior given only the data. That can't be done in the general case.
Indeed, but I'm looking to service the situation where there's already a table with columns x,y, and z that I'd like to become a folder of content objects with x,y,z. Yes, the functionality would be in a python class, but that might be somethign fairly generic, like the PropertyManager interface... possible? cheers, Chris PS: How's the CA mapper for APE coming? -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
